Birdsong Man

BBC Radio 4 Extra - Made in Bristol, Series 2, Birdsong Man

Every morning in the forest Birdsong Man fixes microphones to the trees.

By Timothy X Atack. 4 Extra debut. Every morning in the forest, an hour before dawn, Birdsong Man fixes microphones to the trees. But why?

In the first of a series of specially commissioned sound stories from the More Than Words Festival in Bristol, Paul Mundell reads Birdsong Man by Timothy X Atack. Every morning, out in the forest, an hour before dawn, Birdsong Man fixes microphones to the trees and in between the rocks. And every night, in the lonely hours, he gets a phone call asking for his progress. Who are the recordings for, and why has he been asked to make them?

Timothy X Atack is a scriptwriter, film director and musician who makes fictions for stage, screen, audio and installation in which music and sound are integral to the storytelling. He's in a band called Angel Tech and is co-founder of performance group Sleepdogs.

Producer: Sara Davies.
